    "content": "Ministry budget, 47.5 per cent will go to Development Expenditure. Recurrent Expenditure is at 52.5 per cent. As a country, we must re-look at our wage bill. We must know if we can sustain it. Can we reach a day where the Development Expenditure is higher than the Recurrent Expenditure? The National Treasury is under obligation, at all times, to ensure that the debt levels as set out in the PFM Act regulations are strictly adhered to. Finally, the additional expenditures presented under the Supplementary Appropriation Bill following the passage of the Supplementary Estimates have been financed through a wide budget rationalisation programme by the National Treasury. I want to further assure Members that the Government shall ensure that funds allocated to MDAs are utilised efficiently and effectively in order to achieve the intended outcomes to benefit the citizens of this country. I want to thank all the Members for their continued support and co-operation and ask them to support and approve the Supplementary Appropriation Bill so that Parliament, the Judiciary and the national Executive can withdraw the money now. With those many remarks, I want to ask Hon. Makali Muli to second."
